ONTARIO. - NilestOwn. - Rev. j. r.
Phillips, pastor of the Methodist church,
is preaching series of sermons on the
Punishment Of the Wicked" AS usual,
the gentleman has demonstrated his total
ignorance of our faith. For instance, he
says we restrict all punishment for sin to
the present life; ignore the atonement,
and send all to the highest pinnacle of
glory as soon as death occurs. Now
what an inexcusable caricature of a
faith, which this fossilized Methodist is
unable to comprehend, and which he is
endeavoring to Islander. As DR.. SAKE says,
"He had better consult bright eyed lit
tie five-year-old in the infant class of the
Universalist Sabbath school, from whom
he would doubtless derive some informa-
ton" The gentlemen is giving us doc
trine which is
"a monster of such frie htful mien
That to be hated needs but to be SEEN"
As soon as he is through with the series
of sermons, he purposes putting them in
pamphlet form. 1 am endeavoring to ar
range debate between Rev. Mr.. Goodell
and this wonderful Goliah, but do not
know as he would defile his person by
appearing on the platform with Uni
versalist. J. @. BARRows.

warm with the breath of summer, and
prophetic of natures glory that is soon to
be revealed. We cannot tell the story of
all that the day witnessed even in that
little portion of the world that is beneath
our vision-the flowers, music, glad re-
joicings, the happy throngs, the ingather-
ing of believers, the JOY of the day OF
days. All our churches in this vicinity
kept the festival with becoming joy. The
churches were made beautiful, and song
and sermon told the glad story of a risen
Christ. Many members were added to
the churches"

- ~ 10 80 f1sOOs
DR.. Thayer's work is well
known and recognized as one
of the most valuable in our list
of publications. 1t embodies
in a single volume the views of
the denomination on the lead
ing doctrines of Christian the
ology, with the moral and prac-
tical lessons of the faith, and q
criticism of the popular teach
ing which Universalism OPP
poses. 1t is thus in the nature
of treatise and a commentary,
the principles of our faith being
clearly unfolded and the texts
examined which are supposed
to teach the contrary doctrine.
Its method is orderly and sys-
tematic; and its aim, in the
words of the author, is to show
that Universalism is not a
confused collection of doctrinal
fragments, without continuity
or relation of parts, but a sys-
tenn of divinity, a tree of life
rooted in the character and

of the work is therefore com

THE WHOLESALE BRIBERY" STORY PUBLISHED IN
NEW YORK CHARACTERIZED AS SENSATIONAL
STORY WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
The storypubhshedinN New York, about"wholesale
bribery" ana STOCK speculations by congressman,
that will effect the vote On the Pacific railroad
debt extension bill, is looked upon In the house as
a sensational yarn without foundation. Mr.. Crtsp.
who reported the bill from the House Pacific rail
roads committee says the Story seems to have heen
put forth Tor speculative purpose. He had he said
Tried 10 ascertain II any members OF the House
were speculatlng In stocks but had failed to find
any. There were a few he had thought migi1t be-
but they had all denied 1t when asked AS for
himself ne nad never, he declared, speculated in
sold any. He had noticed, he said. that
from the moment the bill had been reported these
attacks mad been made upon it. This led him to
Ing to prevent any legislation upon this railroad
DEBT question. What the motive WAS he said. he
had not been able to ind out. The committee
OF sS 1me 6 WAS entirely In the
ment OF the entire principal OF the debt and inJer
est for the extended time at three per cent. The
maI.er naa neen referred to the actuary of the
pay the principal and an inrniIesimaI traction
less Than three per cent. The committee could
amend II SO as to make the interest a clear three
per cent. any one could SHOW that they could
not do this, then the committee would be opposed
10 the Dill. What they wanted was to secure the
payment OF the Indebtedness to the government.
Judge Thurman, he said, approved the bill The
committee win invite honorable oppositfon.
With relation 10 the A0ar Senate bin he said
the House committee did not approve Of 1t because

COMPANY could lquidate the debt by merely pay

From the American Grocer.
From tables prepared by the American Grocer,
it appears that the wholesale cost OF staple ari-
cIes OF food We're, with one or TWO exceptions,
lower than In 1885. Higher prices have ruled for
some OF the luxuries, such as coffee and canned
goods, but as the advance was made mostly during
the last quarter OF the year. it has not TO any APP
probable extent, influenced the cost OF living.
Consumers never before commanded greater
variety OF food, and OF such high quality as in
1886. Wages are good and the buyer can get
more for them to-day than at any previous time In
q generation. Certainly there Is no cause Tor
grievance so far as the food supply is concerned.
